Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its decent overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also performed well in the area of short-term care, with an elite grade of A- in this category. In forming our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This facility earned a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we analyzed was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Unfortunately, this score hurt the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the vaccine to only 72.16829 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
